NeilRS Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Over on the Focus RS sites people are talking about google maps now being available on synch 3 through CarPlay. Looks really smart with the satellite maps. I’m out of the country at the moment otherwise I’d check- is it working on the Edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on car play but it works great on the Edge with Android Auto 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pragmatix Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Used it for a while now on a cmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just tried it out today. Did one journey on Apple Maps, one on Google Maps and one on the Ford Sat Nav and the Ford voice is the best to listen to, plus it doesn’t use my phone data like the other two.

iantt Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I wonder if the Google maps are more up to date than the ford system though? And traffic alerts? Used Google maps on Android auto in Mustang in usa earlier this month and it worked well, ESP with traffic jams. Re routed me around very well. The location of the traffic jams were very accurate.

kelvin1950 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I tend to use Via Michelin and Waze on my phone as they both take into account the fact that I'm towing a 'van and they don't have this hidden "take the narrowest route" setting that the Ford sat nav does.

Edge of Reason Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The google maps traffic certainly shows amber, red etc on junctions but then Fords system shows hold ups and re-routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
